<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pitch-analysis-for-pak-vs-nz-t-20-i-series">Pitch Analysis For PAK vs NZ T20I Series</h2>



The five matches of the T20I series are set to be played at the two stadiums; Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium at Rawalpindi and Gaddafi Stadium at Lahore. Below is the detailed analysis of Rawalpindi and Lahore Pitches with stats and records.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="rawalpindi-cricket-stadium-rawalpindi">Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi</h3>

Located in DKS Rawalpindi in the Punjab province of Pakistan, the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium has been a historic venue in Pakistan Cricket. With a sitting capacity of 15,000, this stadium was established in 1992.



Up until now, the Rawalpindi Stadium has hosted five T20 international matches and four out of those have been won by the team chasing. Only Zimbabwe and New Zealand have played matches in this venue. 



The first T20I played here was Pakistan vs Zimbabwe in 2020 and the latest is New Zealand vs Pakistan in 2023. Over the course of time, it is pretty evident that the pitches here in Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium become slower with each match. 



The well-balanced surface at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium is well-known for its ability to accommodate both batsmen and spin bowlers throughout a match. Even if the pitch tends to slow down as the game progresses, it is still easy to bat for the wickets.



The new ball helps batters score quickly at the beginning of the game, especially in the powerplay overs. But as the game goes on, the surface tends to slow down, which gives spinners ideal circumstances to take advantage of with their spins and changes. However, the dew effect might materialize and benefit the pursuing team.

The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaddafi_Stadium">Gaddafi Stadium</a>, named after the Libyan leader, is situated in the old city of Lahore. It had a thorough renovation in 1995?1996 in preparation for the World Cup that year. Gaddafi Stadium can hold 27,000 spectators and was the site of the 1996 World Cup final.



Gaddafi Stadium has hosted 21 T20I till now and 12 times out of those 21, the team batting first have won the game. This shows that the pitch become slower in the second half of the innings.



Pakistan hosted Zimbabwe for the first time in Gaddafi Stadium where the host chased down 172 with ease but as the new trend is growing, batting second is a bit of a tough job at this venue. In the last 6 matches, the batting first side have won 5 games.



Due to their flat nature, the venue's fields are renowned for hosting run-feasts. Additionally, the wickets have solid bounce, which helps the slower bowlers later in the game and the quicks early in the contest.



Mostly, Gaddafi Stadium is a hitter's paradise. There is hardly much assistance for the bowlers on this flat surface. But as the game goes on, the surface does help the spinners a little bit, but the pacers have to battle their way out in Lahore.

pak-vs-nz-first-three-t20is-are-under-the-threat-of-getting-washed-out-due-to-rain

Pakistan vs England: In what proves to be an interesting development, Pakistan?s Cricket Governing-Body, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have planned to prepare are spin-friendly surface for the forthcoming 3rd Test-Match versus England in the city of Rawalpindi. The move is a part of a larger plan to help Pakistan's spinners perform better and boost the success of the national squad.



A team of national-selectors, including former pacer Aqib Javed, will be visiting the Cricket Stadium of Rawalpindi to meet well-known pitch-curator Tony Hemming. Their motive is to ensure that the the track of Rawalpindi is prepared to provide assistance to the spin bowling duo of Nauman Ali &amp; Sajid Khan, similar to the conditions that proved advantageous for the Green Shirts in the second Test-Match.



Although seam bowlers are thought to benefit more from the surface at the Cricket Stadium of Rawalpindi, the Pakistan Cricket Board is eager to change this belief and take full use of the available home conditions.



Another significant development is that the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board, Mohsin Naqvi, has given the Men's National Cricket Team's selection committee, consisting of five members, total authority to choose the best starting eleven for the third and final Test match of the series.



The ultimate call will be made by the selectors, who will likely confer with captain Shan Masood and head coach Jason Gillespie for Test cricket.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pakistan secure comfortable victory in the 2nd Test-Match versus England, level the series 1-1</h2>



 The Shan Masood-led outfit finally ended their really long losing-streak at home, having previously won a Test-Match at home in 2021. The new-faces of the Green Shirts helped their team secure a win after their squad underwent some tough changes following their embarrassing defeat in the opening Test-Match of the series versus England.



29-year-old Kamran Ghulam, who replaced experienced campaigner Babar Azam at the number four spot in the batting-unit, led Pakistan's batting effort with a 224-ball 118 run inning on his debut, which helped them reach the score of 366 runs on the same worn-out Multan surface as the previous game. The visitors were reduced to 225-6 on day two by Off-break bowler Sajid Khan, who was making his comeback, after England had taken a commanding lead at 211-2 on the second day. Among his victims were Joe Root (34) and Harry Brook (9) in particular.

The home team grabbed a commanding 75-run lead as Sajid claimed seven wickets. England had to chase 297 to win on a worn-out and dangerous surface after Pakistan scored 221 in the first innings. The fourth innings saw England bowled out for 144 runs, giving Pakistan a 152-run victory. Noman Ali, a left-arm spinner, concluded with astounding statistics of 8-46. Throughout the innings, he and Sajid Khan bowled without alteration for 33.3 overs.

Pakistan vs England: PCB likely to prepare a spin-friendly surface for the 3rd Test-Match

Cricket heavyweights Australia and South Africa are set to take on each other in the crucial Group-B clash of the ICC Men's Champions Trophy on Tuesday, 25th of February at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi. The Proteas are currently the Group-B table toppers with a Net Run Rate (NRR) of +2.140 to their name after securing a comfortable win over Hashmatullah Shahidi-led Afghanistan by a margin of 107 runs at Karachi's National Stadium. 
Opening batter Ryan Rickelton's phenomenal inning of 103 runs laid the foundation for South Africa's spectacular total and fifties from the likes of Rassie Van der Dussen, captain Temba Bavuma and Aiden Markram propelled their side to 315 for six. Experienced seamer Kagiso Rabada led the bowling attack of the Proteas from the front, dismissing three Afghani batters, while the duo of Wiaan Mulder &amp; Lungisiani Ngidi also picked up two scalps apiece as Afghanistan got all-out for 208 runs in 43.3 overs.
The Australians, on the other hand, made history in their opening match of the competition versus Ashes-Rivals England. Not only did they went on to defeat them by a margin of five wickets at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium, they also created the record of executing the highest successful run-chase in the history of the eight-team ICC event. Despite the struggles faces by their bowling unit as the Three Lions went on to post 351 runs for eight on the board, the Kangaroos responded in magnificent fashion. 
Wicketkeeper batsman Josh Inglis played an incredible knock of 120 runs in just 86 deliveries with the assistance of eight fours and six big maximums, guiding his side to a record breaking victory with 15 deliveries to spare. With both teams looking to secure their semi finals spots, a win in the forthcoming match would bring both of them closer to booking their semifinal berths.
Ahead of this mouth watering clash between the two heavyweights, let's take a quick sneak peak at the Pitch Report &amp; Weather Report of Rawalpindi. 
<h2>Australia versus South Africa Champions Trophy: Pitch Report of the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium</h2>
The pitch of the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium generally offers excellent batting conditions where the batters are given the freedom to play their shots at will and exploit the conditions on offer. The seam bowlers will not get any kind of seam movement on this track. Unlike the surface of Lahore, where the fast bowlers get resilient bounce, the pace &amp; bounce in Rawalpindi are anticipated to be similar, which will help the batters in terms of stroke play. 
The spinners, on the other hand, might be able to extract some turn from the pitch of this stadium but the pitch is unlikely to slow down as the game progresses. Since chasing down targets has become the norm in recent times, the toss winning captain may choose to field first

This match will take place on Thursday, 27th of February and it will commence from 2:30 PM IST (Indian Standard Time) onwards. 
This forthcoming fixture is going to be final Group-A match of both sides, having already been knocked out from the tournament after suffering defeats in their first two games. From Group-A, New Zealand &amp; India have successfully secured their semi-finals berth. Pakistan, the defending champions, started off the eight-team ICC event on a horrific note, losing their opening game versus New Zealand by 60 runs. 
Their performance with the bat didn't improve in the highly important match versus arch rivals India too, as they put up a modest score of 241 runs on the board in Dubai batting first. The Men in Blue didn't have any difficulties chasing down the score, as they wrapped up the game in 43 overs thanks to the superb hundred of Virat Kohli. 
Now that Pakistan don't have any chances of moving forward in the tournament, they will be looking to finish off their Champions Trophy campaign on home soil with a win versus the Bangla Tigers and provide their fans the something to cheer for moment.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, will also be hoping to end the tournament on a winning notenote, having suffered back-to-back defeats versus Team India and the Kiwis. Versus the Men in Blue in their opening match of the competition, they managed to score just 228 runs on the board and eventually lost the game by six wickets. 
They batted first versus the Blackcaps as well but failed to go above the 250 run mark once again as Rachin Ravindra's outstanding hundred helped his side seal the win. 
With both Asian teams looking to end their Champions Trophy campaigns on a positive note, let's take a look at the pitch and the weather reports of this forthcoming encounter. 
<h2>Pakistan versus Bangladesh Champions Trophy: Weather Report of Rawalpindi</h2>
The last match which was scheduled to be played between Australia and South Africa at this ground got washed out due to rain and the same conditions are expected for the Pakistan versus Bangladesh match as well. According to the weather forecast reports of AccuWeather, the city of Rawalpindi is anticipated to receive heavy rainfall as there's an 88% chance of heavy downpour during the entirety of the day. 
The starting phase of the match is likely to get delayed due to rainfall interruptions. Even if the two teams get the chance to play the match versus each other, it's expected to be a shortened one. Talking about the temperature levels, it's going to be cold conditions in Rawalpindi as temperatures are expected to hover between the 14-17 degrees Celsius mark throughout the game.
<h2>Pakistan versus Bangladesh Champions Trophy: Pitch Report of the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium</h2>
The pitch of the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium is anticipated to be on the slower side if the overcast conditions persist and rain keeps coming before the match.The cloudy conditions will also assist the fast bowlers as they will be able to extract a lot of movement off the surface with the new ball. 
If we take the history of this ground into consideration, the seamers will get assistance in the initial phase but as the game progresses, the conditions will start changing and batters will begin feeling helpful. With the old ball, spinners will play an important role as the ball will be expected to grip the surface.
